Abstract: In the title compound, {[Zn(C₈H₄O₄)(C₂₄H₁₆N₂)]·H₂O}_n, the Zn center is coordinated by three O atoms from three different benzene-1,3-dicarboxylate dianions and two N atoms from the bidentate 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand to display a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The benzene-1,3-dicarboxylate ligand acts as a ₃-bridge, resulting in a two-dimensional coordination polymer with rhombus-shaped channels.
